Thylacine

Extinct since 1936, native to Tasmania, the Thylacine was brought back using preserved DNA from soft tissue and the Eastern Grey Kangaroo as a surrogate due to its similar marsupial reproductive system.

Similarities

• Native to Australia
• Share 90% DNA
• Gilli up to 1m tall; Red Kangaroo up to 1.8m tall

Procoptodon Gilli

Went extinct approximately 18,000-45,000 years ago due to climate change. Fossil DNA analysis revealed the surrogate to be the Red Kangaroo, a similar marsupial living in semi-arid regions in Australia today.

Little Bush Moa

The flightless Little Bush Moa inhabited the lowland forests of New Zealand before going extinct 500 years ago. From the toe bone of a museum specimen, DNA was extracted to sequence its genome. Its surrogate? The tinamous!
